Dr. Mohamed Abdallah, spokesman for the Musicians Syndicate, commented on the crisis of Sadat, the famous mahraganat singer, after his arrest during the past hours.
A spokesman for the Musicians Syndicate said, in press statements, that the syndicate is not competent to comment on the Sadat crisis, because he does not hold membership in the syndicate or obtain a permit from it to sing.
Dr. Muhammad Abdullah confirmed in his statements that the arrested person does not have a membership or a permit to work..and the union has no invitation to him and the competent authorities are the ones investigating the matter.
And he went on to say, “No one wants the syndicate to interfere.. No, it only interferes with working and affiliated members, depending on the situation.. We only interfere in the professional aspect.”
Sadat and the festival film:
Sadat had previously participated in the festival’s film; And starring Amina Khalil.
The film deals with mahraganat songs that have spread in recent years, through the story of two performers of these songs (Alaa Fifty and Sadat), who live in a popular area and find themselves facing many challenges in order to prove themselves in the world of making mahraganat music.
Sadat also performed many mahraganat songs, which he became famous for during a short period.
